START-UP INJURY HAZARD! Only qualified operators who have read and understood the safety instructions can perform the operations described below. Moreover, they must check that there are no persons, animals and properly exposed in the area where the connection is made to the tractor. The operator and any assistants must have PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) available and use it as required.
PTO DRIVE SHAFT COUPLING Before installing the PTO drive shaft, the operator must: • Read and understand the manual of the PTO drive shaft and of the tractor; • Check that the number of revs. and the direction of rotation of the tractor PTO correspond to those of the Tiller.
CHECK THE STABILITY OF THE TRACTOR-TILLER COMPLEX Tiller weight changes the stability of the tractor-Tiller complex, influencing steering and braking capability. Therefore proceed at a moderate speed. In particular, it should be noted that the front axle must always be carrying a load of at least 20% of the weight of the tractor-Tiller unit. Check the lifting capacity and stability of the tractor using the following formula and, if necessary, before applying the front weights.
Tiller or the PTO drive shaft. WARNING! SICMA shall not be liable for damage deriving from incorrect modification of the clutch calibration. However, adjustment becomes necessary if the clutch is triggered too frequently, while operating on easily machinable soils, i.e. neither hard nor compact: this means that the clutch calibration is too low.
SA Tillers are supplied as standard with a manually movable 3-point frame that allows translation of the frame on the right side of the tractor (according to the direction of travel) of a maximum “X” of 240mm for the SA/085, 340mm for the SA/105 and 440mm for the SA/125. This option allows easier processing of the ground in special circumstances assessed on a case-by-case basis by the operator.
The Tiller is interchangeable equipment (Machinery Directive art. 1 paragraph b) and to work it must be connected to a tractor; it is from the tractor itself that all its controls are managed. The operator must refer to the tractor user’s manual in order to ensure proper functioning of the Tiller.
Once the work has been completed, the operator must: • Engage the parking brake; • Turn off the engine, remove the start key and keep it; • Disconnect the drive shaft from the tractor PTO and position it on the dedicated hook; • Restart the tractor and, ensuring that there are no exposed persons or animals, move to the storage place.
EMERGENCY STOP The emergency stop procedure should be carried out in the event of a hazard or malfunction and consists of: • Turn off the PTO to stop the Tiller and stop the tractor; • Engage the parking brake; • Turn off the engine, remove the start key and keep it; • Identify the cause of the emergency stop and, if necessary, consult the “Troubleshooting”...
